“David Lynch, Amy Tan and The Man Show collide in FREAK STORM…. Matt
Pelfrey’s new one-act about the inscrutability of those we love juggles macabre
comedy, relationship drama and political incorrectness….
Pelfrey is
undeniably talented, demonstrating a flair for bilious ribaldry.”
David C Nichols, Los
Angeles Times
“In the
skilled hands of playwright Pelfrey, this is a classic, dramatic moral dilemma
that goes...right to the guts...with primal force and power...Add FREAK STORM to
the list of fine works by Pelfrey.”
Backstage West
“...unsettling exploration of the human psyche… this gripping morality play.”
Martin Hernandez, L A Weekly
“The
climactic scene with a garbage disposal is so shocking that some avert their
eyes, others turn away, but all are riveted to the seats, wondering how it will
resolve. You’ll have to see the play to know what went down the disposal—prepare
to be shocked! ...FREAK STORM is really freaky...”
Entertainment Today
“This
domestic disturbance reveals very scary stuff about the world of men. …This
unsettling drama which benefits from…a lot of dark comic material from Pelfrey’s
bag of tricks.”
